Figure 1. Morphology and ion channel kinetics.

The same dLGN morphology (A) was used in all simulations. The steady state values of activation/inactivation variables (red/black full lines), along with the activation/inactivation time constants (red/black dotted lines) are plotted as a function of voltage for voltage dependent ion channels (B–F), and as a function of intracellular calcium concentration for calcium dependent ion channels (G–H). Na and K_dr kinetics are shown for the parameterization P1 of the model. With respect to this, P2 kinetics was shifted +2.3 mV and +3.2 mV for Na and K_dr respectively. For all other ion channels, the same kinetics applies to both parameterizations (P1 and P2).
